"Crime had nothing to do with the decision"? The problem with retail in Philly is that most of the population is looking for handouts vs making purchases.
This is one of the finest (and in many movies) historic stores! The organ inside is the LARGEST playable organ in the world!!!!! The new company will (try) to destroy the organ (part it out) unfortunately!!!!!!!
As a family we used to go to Comcast center and Macy's during Christmas. And we would buy all of our presents at Macy's. Unfortunately everyone except for me. "As a former combat Marine" they were scared to go to downtown Philadelphia. .
The company plans to make the great hall into small spaces and this will ruin ANY chances that the organ will be used again! A bunch of offices (and the organ staff was all fired, so it wont be maintained).
For those who reside in the City of Philadelphia and its northern and western suburbs, the Lehigh Valley, the State of Delaware and southern New Jersey: - There is another store that is closing that is on that list: Macy’s Backstage Store - Located in the Essex Green Shopping Center, 495 Prospect Avenue, West Orange Township, Essex County, New Jersey, and is physically located about 20 miles west of New York City/Manhattan and about 90 miles northeast of Philadelphia Center/City. ☹️😓
The first sign of trouble was the difficulty in finding flat-front khakis out of a sea of pleated pants.

Shutting stores is not economic growth. Why is she Lie ng
The organ is the only important thing in that building.
The size of it makes it unique. Of course only musicians would appreciate that.
I spoke to someone (who knows the head of that company) and they may try to get rid of the organ!.
The beginning of the end.
Thanks to Asians and Indians ordering through Amazon .. America is gone to illegals

CC is a residential neighborhood. Thousands of people live there.
It's pretty safe.
What will happen to the organ?

Will Macy’s Thanksgiving parade be called Amazon Thanksgiving parade one day? Very sad.
Market East is a dump.
When are we going to see the Amazon Thanksgiving day parade.
What about the Christmas Light Shows and Santa Claus?
I really think they should consider closing another store location over here in Philadelphia because that one would be a lot safer to keep open
Safer? Macys is overpriced inferior clothing. That’s why they’re failing.
They never should have bought Strawbridges.
Lord & Taylor actually was there before being Macy’s in 2006
@thefloridianman And even earlier was John Wanamaker's, which was part of the May group in the late Nineties.
@@thefloridianman Also Hecht's briefly.
No this Store can't close. But the Prices is Really High
So many more ”small” brands making better clothing at and even cheaper prices.
But it will be up to the owner of the location, not the city of what he wants
That store had a good run......things change.

Macys CITY CENTER is ICONIC and MUCH more important than ANY of their other stores!
